Effectiveness of the AI-Supporter in Reducing Urinary Tract Infections
Sponsor: China Medical University Hospital
Summary
The "AI Supporter," an intelligent excretion management robot, leverages artificial intelligence-based vision recognition to autonomously detect and cleanse affected areas, followed by drying and changing the diaper, thereby reducing caregiver strain and enhancing care quality. This study aims to assess the efficacy of the "AI Supporter" in decreasing the incidence of urinary tract infections and incontinence-associated dermatitis among incontinent patients, in addition to exploring its cost-effectiveness. Adopting an experimental (two groups) and longitudinal design, this research utilizes both convenience and random sampling strategies. The study anticipates recruiting 60 female subjects who have been confined to bed for more than three months with urinary and/or fecal incontinence. Participants will intermittently use the AI Supporter over a 14-day period. Measurement tools include routine urine analysis.

Interventions
AI-supporter
rticipants in the experimental group will use the AI-supporter, an intelligent excretion management robot. This device utilizes AI-driven visual recognition technology to automatically detect urine and feces, followed by a cleaning and drying process. When the AI-supporter detects excretion, it activates an automated sequence that washes, dries, and sanitizes the perineal area without requiring the caregiver to remove the diaper. The AI-supporter also records relevant data, such as the time, frequency, and weight of excretion, for further analysis. This intervention is designed to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), as well as lessen the workload for caregivers
